Join us in partnering with Thai churches to bring the light of the gospel into unreached communities in Central Thailand
Central Thailand is the birthplace of Thai culture and religion. The Thai people take great pride in their Buddhist faith. Fewer than 1% of Central Thai People are Christian. Our mission is to partner with Thai Baptist Churches to build healthy churches and plant new churches where there are none throughout Central Thailand outside of Metro Bangkok.
One way we do this is by helping Thai Baptist Churches become community centers in the areas they serve. Children in poor communities throughout Central Thailand have few safe places to go after school and on weekends. The parents are busy working, and grandparents or other relatives often cannot help. Through the community center ministry, we earn the trust and respect of parents and community leaders as we meet this vital need for their children. This outreach enables local believers to share their lives with the community so they can share the gospel, start small groups, and plant indigenous community churches.
Our team currently partners with four Thai Baptist Churches to do community outreach in Ayutthaya, Rayong, and Samut Sakhon. We are pursuing new partnerships with Thai Baptist Churches to help them share the gospel and make disciples through community center ministry.
Thank you for your prayers and support as we seek to build up the local church through preaching and teaching the Word, training, and personal discipleship to see the gospel spread throughout Central Thailand.
Gifts toward specific efforts show us what you are excited about. Occasionally, we may redeploy gifts as we follow God's leading with urgent opportunities or changing international contexts. Any gifts received beyond the goal go toward a similar project or our team support.
Thai Church Community Center Ministry
Our team works with local churches and believers to enter communities and build relationships with families. Your gift will help us host kids’ camps and educational activities such as free tutoring, English corners, and art classes. We also offer parenting classes and Bible studies to meet the community's spiritual needs. Thank you for joining us as we see the gospel spread and disciples made as a result.
ELM Pregnancy Support Ministry
Your gift to the ELM Ministry Pregnancy Help Center equips the local Thai community to make informed decisions regarding life in the womb. It strengthens the community by supporting young women experiencing unplanned pregnancies and empowers them to better their lives with job opportunities, education, and gospel exposure. This ministry also equips local Thai churches to provide pregnancy support to at-risk mothers through training and coaching.
Evangelism in Central Thailand Towns and Villages
Eight provinces in Thailand don't have a single Baptist Church. Romans 10 asks how nonbelievers can come to Christ if they have never heard the good news – and how will they hear unless someone tells them? Your gift will cover our travel expenses as we visit these unreached provinces and tell about the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. "As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!'"
The goal represents the cost of our team’s ministry activities for this calendar year. The Cooperative
